Verse
[Bsus4] [B]
You keep me running round and round,
[Bsus4] [B]
Well that's alright with me,
[Bsus4] [B]
Up and down, I'm up the wall,
[Bsus4] [B]
I'm up the bloody tree.
[Bsus4] [B]
That's alright with me,
[Bsus4] [B]
Yeah, that's alright with me,
[Bsus4] [B]
Well, it feels alright to me,
[Bsus4] [B]
Yeah, it looks alright to me.
Chorus
[F#]
And, I'm so tall, I'm so tall,
[Bsus4] [B] [Bsus4] [B]
You raise me and then you let me fall.
[F#]
And I'm so small, I'm so small,
[Bsus4] [B] [Bsus4] [B]
Wrap me round your finger, see me fall, here we go
